SHOW-CASE STAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 248,283, dated October 18, 1,881.

Application fixed April 1e, 1881. (No model.)

To all u-hom it may concern Be it known that we, HENRY BRAUMOEL- LER and HERMAN MUELLER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Show-Case Stands, of which the following is a specification.

The object We have in view is to produce a suitably braced and connected stand for supporting show-cases which can be readily adjusted in height without changing or removing any ot' the parts; aud our invention consists in the peculiar devices employed by us for this purpose, as fully hereinafter explained, and pointed out by the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, Figure vlis a side elevation of the stand; Fig. 2, an end view ofthe same; Fig. 3, a horizontal section of one end of the stand on line 3 3, and Fig. 4 a horizontal section of one end on line 4 4.

Like letters denote corresponding parts in all four gures.

The stand has two standards, one at each end thereof. Each standard is constructedin two parts, A B, having any suitable ornamental design. The lower part, A, is extended laterally to form feet, while the upper part, B, is also extended laterally on each side ofa' central line to form brackets for supportinga showcase. The part A of each standard is ^cast with'ways a on its inner side, between which ways slides the lower cud of the part B, such part B having a central vertical slot, b. The parts B of the two standards are connected by a central horizontal bar, C, which is secured rigidly to the upper edges of such parts.

Braces D Dl are secured to the central bar, C, and extend outwardly and downwardly to the inner sides of the parts B of the standards, nea-r their lower ends. The lower ends, o, ot' the braces D Dl are bent into vertical positions, as shown, and are provided'with'long .vertical slots d, which coincide with the slots standards and the braces are rigidly clamped.

By loosening the nuts f it will be seen the height of the stand can be changed as desired. The stand at the same time is exceedinglystitland strong, the standards having double horizontal connections and lateral braces.

What We claim as our invention is- In a show-case stand, the combination, with the standards composed of parts A B, sliding together, the parts B,havin g slots b, of the bar C, braces D D', having slotted lower ends, and the rod E, provided with collars e and nuts j', all constructed and arranged substantially as described and shown.
